luxury farmhouses with terrace for sale Emilia-Romagna, Italy

In the heart of the Val Tidone, among vineyards and harmonious rolling hills, just a few minutes from Borgonovo Val Tidone, this agriturismo is set within one of the most authentic landscapes of Emilia-Romagna, in the first hilly area south of Milan. This valley is increasingly appreciated by both Italian and international clients for the quality of its landscape and for a lifestyle closely connected to nature and leisure: routes through vineyards and woodlands, horse riding, trekking and cycling, as well as food and wine itineraries among historic wineries and small local producers. Nearby, there are villages, castles, and cultural points of interest. The property, immersed in this setting, is surrounded by 8 hectares of private vineyards and over 100 olive trees, within a total landholding of more than 15 hectares, offering an ideal environment both for private living and for hospitality activities. The complex includes the main residence, 12 guest rooms for a total of 1,080 sqm (11625 sq ft)in a detached building served by an internal lift, as well as spaces dedicated to catering and events, with professional kitchens and convivial halls featuring fireplaces and living areas, totalling 860 sqm (9257 sq ft), in addition to storage buildings and a large parking area. Outside, porticos, a swimming pool with relaxation area, and open views over the countryside complete an atmosphere of total tranquillity. A property that perfectly embodies the concept of an Italian second home: a place to experience the landscape, food, and slow rhythm of the countryside, with the opportunity to host guests and develop a boutique hospitality project.

On the hills of Bologna, a secret paradise completely renovated just 15 km from the city centre of Bologna, a wonderful city of medieval origins in central Italy, well connected to the main Italian cities (Milan, Rome) by road, motorways, railway services and twenty minutes from G. Marconi International Airport, we find this incredible property that extends over approximately 4 hectares (about 12 acres), immersed in centuries-old parkland that hosts an incredible vegetable garden, often used as an artistic space. Within the parkland, surrounded by a garden with Leyland cypress hedges, in the style of 19th century French gardens, we find the beautiful main house, a splendid villa on two levels for a total of approximately 450 square meters (4843.76sqft) on two levels and characterised by an evocative winter terrace that dominates the surrounding panorama. Near this building there is an old barn, absolutely unique in its kind and recently restored with a conservative approach, according to the most refined criteria of sustainable engineering and architecture. The most significant interventions have included high standards of energy saving. Renewable energy cooling systems have been installed such as photovoltaic panels, biomass heating from the pruning of the trees on the estate itself and rainwater recovery, in addition to phytoremediation. The former barn, now transformed into an industrial-style loft, is currently a real permanent artistic installation, an extraordinary location that lends itself perfectly to being used for events. Stretching out over a surface of approximately 600 square meters (6458.35 sqft) on two levels, it is often used as a photographic and film set. On the ground floor there is a huge hall with a fireplace of industrial proportions. The space includes a kitchen and fitness rooms, with access to the limonaia and a summer kitchen surrounded by windows. On the upper floor there are two large mezzanine spaces used as exhibition areas and a gym. The architectural structure was recovered through an industrial archaeology intervention in 2014 and fits visually into the context thanks to expertly studied shapes and colors. An indoor swimming pool, equipped with the most modern technologies, cinematographically enriches this spa. The property generates income.
